thought you might find the following summary of two recent studies
interesting.
Two
consumer research studies conducted for the National Association
of Realtors reveal that home buyers and sellers are seeking more
control over the real estate transaction, yet still value real estate
professionals who are knowledgeable and adaptable to consumers'
needs.
The
studies were conducted by Yankelovich Monitor of Norwalk, Conn.,
and Baltimore-based Context-Based Research Group. They found that
as people's lives become busier, more complicated and more stressful,
they find a compelling need to simplify and delegate unnecessary
chores.
The
implication for Realtors is clear, according to NAR Senior Vice
President Frank J. Sibley.
"The
key for our members is to be seen as trustworthy delegation partners,
who provide a time-saving customized service while still allowing
consumers to feel in control," Sibley said. "The good
news for Realtors is that potential home buyers may be beginning
to realize the advantages of the kind of personalized service a
Realtor can provide."
According
to the research, one result of this trend has been a new approach
that allows consumers to work with an expert, yet leaves room for
them to be involved in the transaction.
